Here are a few examples from our two hour FIRSTHAND make and take workshop. The round prints were made from working on styrofoam and the square ones from Gelli plates, gelatin-like plates. There were ten people working and they all seemed to love expressing their creative sides this way. Making prints can be a lot of fun and the results are usually surprising!

Last week I picked up my artwork from an exhibit at the Coastal Wildlife Refuge Center in Manteo, North Carolina. It's about a 2 hour drive south of my home in Virginia. Here are a few photos from my visit there, one that had to be postponed from the previous week due to 8 inches of snow. So much snow on our coasts recently! But this day was perfect for a visit.

These roses were certainly beautiful when they were fresh but as I watched them grow weary, their subtle colors started to fascinate me. They became very pretty dried flowers! Perhaps there is a painting in there somewhere!
